I am still thinking if I should apply to US bschools because of the H1-B VISA problem and the risks involved. But if I apply, I would like to apply to these bschools next year:

I have some time till I apply next year. I want to pursue career in consulting/finance. Being an IT Male engineer, I was thinking if I should focus on writing gmat once again or I should work on things which will help me later in career like (switching to some consult, Writing exams like CFA, FRM)??

Thanks for sharing your profile. You have a list of some of the top schools in the US. With that comes tons of competition. Your current profile will keep you of range for your top 5 programs and potentially the others as well. I would aim for at least a 740 to get in the discussion at schools on your list given their competitiveness and that of your overrepresented profile
